I've tried using the 3D-Wedding cake recipe that calls for pudding mix and sour cream with chocolate cake mixes, and I find that it rises like CRAZY!!! I mean I fill an 8x2 pan half way and it will OVERFLOW the pan and create a super mess in my oven.

The 3" pans take care of this problem for me. I LOVE the 3D Wedding cake recipe!

I found the pudding and sour cream in a Devils Food mix made it way too fudgy..I really lost the cake texture so I don't add it to that. I have not tried a regular choc cake mix because I love devil's food.

I would do a choc pudding in Red Velvet since it has that hint of cocoa anyway
